Best Answer

A wet edge is a decorative arts term (faux finishing). It applies to the glazing process. The artist, while applying the glaze, works in sections on a wall. They must make sure that the glaze does not dry on the outer edge in order for it to be joined to the next section. If it does dry, the result is a "dry edge" that creates a line and ruins the entire look of the faux finish.

What do you use to smooth the edges of a plastic acrylic?

Hey All you need to do is use some waterproof abrasive paper (also know as wet and dry paper) and in essence sand down the edges equally to get a nice finish. now the technique to the best finish is to use the wet and dry paper on the edges when it is dry until the edge feels smooth but maybe has a few more scratches you can't feel much but can see. Once you've done that, get the paper wet and repeat the sanding movements till the edge is very smooth. If you have a buffing or polishing machine you can use that on the edges too but look up the safety online as I'm not very well acquainted with the machine. Sincerely James

What is the difference between wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry painting?

"Wet on wet" or "wet in wet" means that you are applying wet paint (usually oil, artist's colours) to a surface that you have already painted which is still wet. If using oil, then your surface would be oil based, such as linseed oil or turpentine. This technique enables you to move and blend the paint to finish a painting in one sitting. "Wet on dry" means you are applying wet paint to a dry surface that you have painted earlier and allowed to dry. You can do this to either build up an area, or as in glazing, to achieve certain effects.
